This campaign has now closed
To encourage people of all ages and abilities to sing. Singing makes you feel good, and feeling good makes you happy. We will present workshops, short courses and singing days across the north east and encourage local participation. We will also help to set up and support community choirs.

Beneficiaries
Situation
People who sing, especially with a group, normally have a positive approach to life, and a strong sense of well-being and personal achievement. More people should feel like this. When you go singing you forget your worries because you are concentrating on the singing. When the session finishes you feel better - energised but relaxed. And you smile! More encouragement and opportunities are needed so that more people can sing! Singing is for everyone! Everyone can do it!
Solution
We will develop a wide range of activities during the coming months to attract more people to singing. We will be trying hard to attract people who would benefit from regular singing: older people, people suffering from depression, and those who think they can't sing. We provide opportunities each year for more than 7,000 voices to sing. 120 Silver Singers' sessions, 6-8 Singing Days & 20-30 short singing workshops. We work with families, young children and adults all the year round.
